Thanks. Unfortunately the car has to pass an inspection after arrival in the UK and "the speedometer" must read in MPH. I am not sure that I would get away with a second MPH speedo on the digital screen with the main one in KMH but I could try.
I imported a 911 from germany a few years ago and they accepted a clear, self adhesive, disc self printed with MPH ... as an overlay on the speedo glass. Here's mine (UK supplied) for reference....

Thanks, something like that was going to be my first option. I can get a new MPH speedo from Tesla but it would be £900. I was not sure how to print one, or on what, I doubt there is a suitable one for sale. Is there any chance you could take a picture with the camera slightly lower, so square on, without the flash, I can then start some experimental printing.

Current rules for cars less than 10 years old has that it has to be lit and I assumed that it had to go under the glass but that may not be the case.

Anyways, thanks for posting that. As many of you know "Darkstar" was the original codename for the Tesla Roadster project.

Just found another one in NSW which is still alive .. but not much details on it

Using the Australian NSW registration system, I can see that plate still active with a Tesla Roadster ... butt the VIN 0393 and the model (2017???) doesn't seem to be correct. The above one was spotted in Dec 2019 at the Tesla Service Center in Sydney.

That one, if I recall correctly, was rebuilt a few years back, which may allude to why it says 2017. Perhaps that’s the year it was re-certified on the road?

Also @pd_australia - it looks like you’re selling yours?

Hi everyone,

I am new here, but reading posts in this forum for many month - tons of informations, I learned a lot here that helps me with my roadster.

Great forum, congratulations!

I own EU 767 for a year now (It's the last worldwide sold roadster) and by following this thread and the list from TEG I found the two dates "chassis assembled" and "vehicle completed" like shown below. It was sold and started its life in 07/2013 in Vienna though is has an italian VIN.

Hi TEG,
of course I was curious about your reply: what would you find in your endless archives about 767? ;) Thank you for the pics (ok, yours are better) do you have more informations about it?

This is what I know: The previous owner told me that ist was an exhibit in the Tesla store in Vienna and he bought it from the CEO of Tesla Europe - but it wasn't on the road until 07/13 - the expertise from Tesla shows the pre owner as the first owner.

So the car probably never was in Italy. Tesla should know more about this but so far they have not even managed my registration on their site.....

@Roadster,
thanks for the link, I knew the thread already because when I saw those pics I started to find out more about it, got contact and.... bought it finally.
